even mechanics are not safe when they drive like that.

If they want to drive like idiots, they need to be jerked down a notch or three. In Charlotte we have some of those & we are working on adjusting their attitude.
Hey Harry, just a suggestion, maybe you could read the Union notices when they are hung up, they have been up for over a week and it says what you would be voting for. And I know for a fact that some of the GC guys did come around to your work area and let people know. Maybe you were off that day, but anyway they were voting for two people to go to the district 141 convention. I know there were a few people on the ballot who sure would have liked for you to have read that notice and came out to the meeting and voted.I suppose this is after the fact, but does anyone have a clue what Clt was suppose to voter for today ?( That we were not told of at least where I work)
ehhhh... What you say is true, but 5 mph on a rig is enough to kill someone, especially if one or more parties isn't paying attention. That's why they're called ACCIDENTS.
My point was that at those speeds vests will do nothing. Yes a vehicle at 5MPH can kill as easily as at 50MPH. The point was directed at the fact that at 5MPH (and even 25MPH) the speeds are low enough that there is no excuse to not see someone on the ramp, even if they're not wearing a vest, nor is there an excuse to not have the time to take an avoidance measure. It was a point about there not being an added benefit to increased visibility at the low speeds we deal with; we're not on a freeway here.
It's a thankless job for a vest: if it does it's job well you'll never even know it's working.
On to more important news. Any word on new station closings after the summer?
The vests are a waste. Just another thing someone sat around and had nothing to do so they implemented them.
Just like in the west where we had to wear steel-toed shoes on the ramp until the merger. I'm thankful we got rid of that...And I don't see any foot injuries from that being gone.
I fully agree on the vests, but respectfully disagree on the shoes... As someone that's had their foot run over at least twice, and had numerous "run ins" with LD3's & BMCs, I'd say they're a good thing.
While I can't answer that question, in Clt there will be no last bank of flights from Sept till just before Thanksgiving on Mo. & Tu. We are having a new station bid to be effective 14Sept. Quite frankly I'm alittle scared tp even guess. I've been told they are going to be asking people to take vto. Maybe some of the other Charlotte people can post more info.
eh bad things are going to happen in september seems to be the general feel out there ... i hear their going to do stuff here in PHX as well similar to what your going to see in CLT ... :unsure:
Mr. Kool-Aid...
The sky ain’t fallin’ in CLT! We goin’ to expand internationally by 25 gates by 2011! CLT is now in the top ten airports in this country for passenger traffic, with an optimistic
forecast for additional growth by all business leaders familiar with the matter! CLT will continue to introduce additional IAM Fleet Service positions as we grow. We will work safe and smart...as we prepare to enter negotiations for a new CBA that will erase and improve upon the concessions shoved up our a** by the ‘gone but not forgotten’ Canale regime abrogation travesty!
Solidarity...
